Donna: I hope you have a safe and uneventful surgery. Please remember to take it easy the first few weeks. Sleep as much as you can, your body will need the rest. Don’t fret if you’re not able to get in all your protein the first couple of weeks….you will be able to catch up later. Sip as much water as you can, that is important. You will definitely go through the “why did I do this to myself” phase, I think we all go through that. After my surgery I thought “Gee, I focused on all the good stuff like being able to cross my legs, being able to go on ALL the rides at the amusement park and so on. I didn’t think about the things I wouldn’t be able to do. Like loading up a plate with food and happily eat it or being able to shove a forkful into my mouth and eat without thinking”. But know that it’s a temporary feeling and will go away in a day or two. Also know that after a while, eating a mound of food is a SILLY and harmful habit to miss. You will MOURN food! You may even cry over the loss….I did. I had just had a doctor visit and was in my car getting ready to leave. In the car next to me were two people stuffing Taco Bell into their faces (I don’t even care for Taco Bell) and I started crying like a baby. Then on the way home, I started to cry when I passed a McDonald’s and Burger King…it was a LONG ride home. But the next day, I was fine. One thing that’s been VERY helpful for me is the fact that I’m seeing a behavior modification therapist. I’m sure you’ve heard a million times that this surgery is a tool….and it’s true. You might have “head hunger” and you’ll have to control the grazing or you’ll get yourself in trouble. My therapist has really helped me deal with my old eating habits…it’s really worth it. OK, enough of my preaching. I know you’re nervous and EXCITED which is exactly normal! Have a SAFE trip to the losing side and take care of yourself!!! ~J
